    I am looking for a notebook that I can use Microsoft Office, Web surfing, storing pictures/videos/documents, and maybe light gaming.

    It should work just fine for Office, Web surfing, etc, but I doubt it could handle much gaming at all.

    The processor has a very low clock speed and is single core, so it won't be great for multitasking either.

    But fine for light stuff.

    Perfect, on this one they've used an Intel chipset, not SIS one.
    Yeah, zaner123 is right about gaming. Unless by gaming you mean games like CS 1.6 or something as old as it is! :) It seems it's an ideal busyness laptop.
